Checked continuity from the pump power wire to terminal "A" of the big Cannon plug at the rear of the control box, and it does have continuity. It continues to have continuity all the way to terminal 6 of block TB2 on the circuit board.on the left hand side. I can't seem to find where the...

I've got a 701a that runs great. fans turn on, engine purrs, cranks up right away on a pair of motorcycle batteries. Problem is, the aux pump doesn't turn on. I've tested the pump itself on my MEP003a 10kw, and the pump is good. I checked power at the wire coming from the harness going to the...

I dunno, I kinda like having all the info in one post, though I'm used to seeing a constant stream of "use the search feature!!!" when posting questions that have been answered in the past, recent or otherwise. Back to the topic - I've had this happen before. the bowtie thingy breaks, and it...

First off, let me just say it's a little shocking to see how many 8xx generator threads there are, compared to a couple years ago. It was bound to happen, of course, but still surprising when I logged in. I guess I should either look for a couple parts unit 003a sets or start shopping for an...

Wolf, I found the pumps at Pegasus also - I haven't ordered them yet though. How was the service with them? I was going to get two and keep one on the shelf. I just had to clean out all three of my Dad's pumps, and one was actually no good - it won't do anything when we hook it to power. So...

I can vouch for that. My update: I mixed about 25% gasoline to WMO and poured it in my day tank for the genset. So far, no change at all. Ran great. Going to try adding more of the mixed fuel with the diesel and see if it has any effect. I will say that letting the oil settle is definitely...

yup! Dad goes on Ebay all the time just cruising for stuff. we picked up a carb in good shape the other day, and we're waiting on it to show up. there's still little things that will become known as we go along, but I'm trying to get to the point where we know what sheet metal we need to fix...

good to know. I'll keep the overdrive in mind for the CJ and we'll just trailer the A1 like we planned originially. the "playing" idea is what I was looking for. Dad's really into the idea of making the A1 jeep "correct" and taking it to shows and all that, but I think once we get into it...

radiator Wheel and tire - even has the K H stamped into it. panels - the biggest one needs some love, but there are only a couple of pin holes in it - VERY usable shape. the other pieces have been worked on and primered. Driver seat passenger seat frame - needs some love, but not rusted...

and it's definitely a disease! but one I'm semi-familiar with, I've been into cars and hot rods since I was 16, so it's just another branch of that, right?

yeah, I figure between this next trip, and what we have, we'll be able to build Dad's A1, my CJ, and about 70% of another A1. and the second A1 we could finish using civilian parts and just drive it for the "cool" factor. I also started drooling over Herm's overdrives. anyone have one of...

yup. just talked to a nice older guy in Bluffton - name's Gene, and he's sorta getting out of the jeep game. I say sorta because he's still dabbling, but he had a 53 CJ3B, an M38A1 rolling chassis/powertrain (you may have seen it on Ebay) and a couple pairs of axles, plus 2 F head engines in a...

that's the idea. although, at the rate we're going, we'll be about 95% factory correct for military stuff. if I can recover the hood numbers, that would be some serious icing on the cake. in the meantime, I have a decal set I made when we were marking our personal boxes and bags to put gear...

Thanks for all the info. I'm going to try and take that heater off, but I don't know if we'll get the heater kit to replace it. It doesn't stay cold this far south for long, but it rains a lot, so the doors would be a good investment. Wil - far be it for me to deprive ya'll of a perfectly good...

I was wondering about that - the arctic kit had the radiator blanket and the fuel-fired heater on the passenger fenderwell.... I still hate those fuel-fired heaters to this day, at least the modern versions. they're a leaky-fire-death-inferno-monoxide hazard waiting to happen in M113s and M997...

is it a civilian or a military modification? if they were military, were they branch specific or branch immaterial? are they electric or do they use coolant flow for the heat source?

we have the data plate off the wheelwell - MD 78857, with an original Willys plate. where do I find the USMC serial number ranges? the bumpers are straight bubba specials. I'm going to have to carefully cut them off, because they were welded to the frame, but luckily, the original mounting...

yeah, I'm on the other end of town. and luckily, we're far south enough of the cold snap that other than being chilly, we're fine. plus the MEP 003 hums along once I fire her up, so we're set. it does make it problematic trying to do anything outside of the garage though, between the freezing...

Dad's been traveling and I've been working and then watching the girls (we've got twin 3 yr olds) while the wife goes job hunting. I'm getting out in September, so she's going to carry the paycheck while I go back to school. we've been gathering a lot of parts - I'm going up to see WillFreeman...

sure did! thanks for the heads up!!
